Influence of Mediation in Criminal Matters of the Judiciary

Although it is rarely used in criminal cases, mediation is a recognized and well-established method of resolving disputes that is typically used in civil cases. Nonetheless, it is a possibility in certain low-level criminal cases (particularly those that are compoundable), such as assault, wrongful imprisonment, harassment, molesting, cheating, adultery, etc. However, we cannot state that the use of mediation in criminal trials can always continue.
